Today after the meeting Brian Harvey did a few flights on his E-Flite Apprentice with Mike and Bob on the buddy box. After successfully landing a few times it was decided he was ready.

With a great hand launch from Dave the Apprentice was away with Brian at the controls and no buddy box. Four minutes later a great landing for what is now his first solo flight.

Great job Brian!

These pictures I took just before I maddened my 26 cc gas powered Super Star, has 70 inch wingspan. Thankfully, it returned to the pits just as nice as it looked in picture. The plane flew very well, no bad tendencies and landed very smoothly. I believe I will like flying this plane during summer months, when they finally do come.
